Painting Magnolias...

IMG_5037.jpg

Every time I paint new flowers, I learn something new.

I used a reference here and it's a great way to learn this new flower.  Flowers aren't easy to do but I found after doing 6 of them, my last two were my favourite.  I might go back to the beginning and rework some of the ones that feel a little intense.  I had a beautiful painting week, even though life has been a little hectic and I'm feeling my energy levels fading a bit, showing up daily to paint and create has been good for my soul.  It's been good to find my quiet here painting beautiful Magnolias.

{Magnolia}... nobility, perseverance, love and Yin, the feminine side of life.

Look forward to sharing more...
